Railroad Day on Capitol Hill

Railroad Day on Capitol Hill is May 8, 2019.

Railroad Day on Capitol Hill has proven to be the single most effective way to get our industry's message to Congress. The size of the event, the geographical diversity of the participants, and the unified railroad industry message has focused Congress on our issues like never before.

You put the real-life face on the issues that matter most to our industry. When you turn out in force you demonstrate that those issues affect a large group of individuals who employ an even larger group of people from across the country. And you can't rely on the other guy to carry your message. You need to come to Washington and join with your fellow rail industry workers to help drive home to Congress the important role that this industry plays in restoring America's economy, improving America's environment, and connecting America in the global marketplace.

In the weeks leading up to Railroad Day we will offer three
webinars that will further explain how to prepare for your appointments on the
Hill. We will also instruct you on how to find your schedule of
appointments on the app. If you have
attended Railroad Day in the past and are familiar with the process you will
receive your schedule on your app and may go directly to appointments.
